Question

Only four weeks and very nauseous - is that normal?

Share

Just rec'd confirmation from the doctor that my hubby and I are expecting our second after three years TTC! We're very excited, but I have been feeling horribly nauseous for the past few days. With a few MC's in my past - and with not having MS with my first until about 9 weeks, I'm worried that this isn't normal. Anyone else experience(ing) this?

It was for me, I was sick for the first 3 months, no puking, just nausea. It was awful but it went away when I was about 18 weeks or so. I suggest staying away from acid or greasy foods, and making sure you eat right when your hungry (otherwise you will probably just feel to sick to eat when you need too). Also, try not to eat to much or too little. Hope you feel better soon!

I was fairly nauseous in my first trimester as well (in fact I thought I was just sick until I was about 14 weeks pregnant). I did throw up from time to time depending on what I ate. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids if you are throwing up. Eat light meals periodically through out the day to make sure there is always something in your stomach. Get lots of sympathy hugs from your husband and first born. You may also see if your husband would fix your food for you. It helps some if you aren't smelling it as you cook. I felt much better leading into my second trimester.
